Can anyone please tell me if the Reuters feed is still active? I am unable to lock this signal from Regina Saskatchewan, as it seems I am possibly outside the satellite foot print. Does anyone from western Canada or the Northern USA see this signal?If so do have a 1.8m dish that I could install if there is a remote possibility of locking this feed. Your help on this matter is much appreciated! Thanks

OK, that one is only DVB-S, explains why you get that one.I receive 12076 H 5787 DVB-S QPSK FEC 3/4 at ~ 8.2 dB, almost 3 dB margin.min snr is ~ 5.5 dB for DVB-S QPSK FEC 3/4You are about 3 dB lower than me on this one.

And I have about 1.5 dB margin on Reuters. So maybe you can assume you are about1.5 dB shy snr wise on the Reuters mux? So think about how you can gain at least 1.5 dB snr overallcompared to your current situation.

I'm in Thunder Bay, On. and I can get the 12076 mux with my 90 cm dish, but I have never gotten the Reuters channel. I think a 1.2 meter dish should be able to lock it for me, judging from the footprint map.__________________90cm Ariza dish on STAB HH-90 with Titanium PLL-1KS lnbf feeding a GEOSATpro microHD 30W-127W

I am not sure yet but I am probably looking to a dedicated install with a single polarity Norsat LNB.

I know that I have tuned this before but I do remember a discussion some time ago about a signal strength change. I have a 1M offset on SES 3 and I get about the same strength on the 3M offset on the NBC channels. So I am hoping that if I install the 1.8M I might just be able to squeeze enough to see that signal on 113W. I know the foot print looks like I maybe SOL but its worth a try.

given you are 3dB less than me on the DVB-S signal, while using an antenna that's at least 3 dB better than mine gain wise.. either ur about 6 dB behind footprint wise, the alignment is way off, or there's an obstruction.. or some varying degree combination of the above.

Fellow
Members, your posts are welcome here! Do not worry about posting
everything perfect. Different receivers and LNB's will give you
different Frequencies and Symbol Rates. Some set top boxes, PCI cards
and USB receivers, Do Not Require all of the same information that
others may need. It is not Required to post everything that others
may need to tune in a feed. It is just most important to share the
find. We can always adjust the Frequency and Symbol Rates and try
the various Modulations and FEC's on our own receivers until we get
a lock and then give a polite reply with what works for your receiver,
as that information might help others as well.
We all appreciate the efforts and energy of the Posters!
